To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, GEORGE W. BALOGH, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Buffalo, county of Erie, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in heaters and particularly to types adapted to be used for warming dwellings and like buildings.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a form of heater in which all the elements of combustion are conserved so that the fuel is used in a highly economical manner.

A further object is to provide heaters which are capable of bein increased or decreased in the number of units employed, in accordance with the amount of heat needed in each apartment.

These and other like objects are attained by the-novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view largely diagrammatic and indicating the application of the invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a heater, made in accordance with the invention, showing the arrangements of parts, the outer end plate being removed.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary, front view of a heater unit.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged horizontal sectional View, taken on line 66 of Fig. 5, and

Fig. 7 is a similar sectional view taken on line 7-7 of Fig. 5.

As shown in Fig. 1, an ordinary form of kitchen range 10, such as is used for cooking and other domestic purposes, in place of being directly connected to a chimney, has a smoke pipe 11 turned upward at 12 through the building; its extreme upper end is connected with the chimney 13 in the ordinary manner.

Set in the smoke pipe 12 are dampers 15, while connected with the pipe, are horizontal pipes 18 and 19, respectively above and below the dampers or controlling means in the smoke pipe and leading to a simple formof' heater or radiator, comprised] of two unitswhich may be supported by depending links 22, secured inthe ceiling of the room, or rest upon feet 23, as shown inthe right hand upper compartment.

The dampers 15 are arranged in a novel manner, consisting of disks 2 7,- attached to square rods 28, by clips 29, one of the outer ends of the rods having upon it a knob or turning device 30, while the other end has a screw thread 33, engaged in a rectangular nut 34, fixed to the exterior of the pipe 12, so that when the damper plate 27 is turned, pressure is brought to bear slightly compressing the sides of the pipes 12, thereby holding the damper in an adjusted position.

The several units shown in Figs. 4 to 7 are comprised of a rectangular casing having side Walls 35 and 36, having attached a rigid back 37, and to the upper and lower corner brackets 38, in whichare engaged tu- I bular supports 40, each of the supports being of a length equivalent to the height of its unit. A door or cover 42 is engaged by bolts 43, and clamped by the thumb nuts 44.

The to and bottom plates 45 and 46, of

, these sections are level and flat, so that one may be laced over the'other, connection being made by tubular elements 47 connecting between the corner tubes 40. Arranged in each of the units are two vertical partition plates or walls 50 and 52, engaged with which are horizontal partition plates 51 and 52, the same extending to the side Walls 35 and 36, thereby forming six compartments in each unit.

A tubular flue 55, connecting with the sup ply pipe 18, enters the lower compartment at the rear left-hand corner, conveying the heat from the furnace through the compartment 56, formed by the walls 35 and 52, around the end of the plate 52, which does not extend to the extreme front of the unit,

around the plate 50, into the compartment the same acting as casters, by means of WhlCh the heating apparatus may be moved to any desired location.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In a heater comprising a plurality of rec-' tangular casings, brackets at the upper and lower corners of said casings, tubular supports engaged in said brackets for securing said casings one above the other, two vertical partition plates in each of said casings and horizontal partition plates forming With said vertical plates six compartments in each of said casings, a tubular flue extending through said compartments and adapted to be connected at its lower end to a heat supply pipe and at its upper end to a discharge pipe, and knobs at the lower ends of said tubular supports, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.

GEORGE W. BALOGH.
